my old man had an old harley outfit i would sit on the seat at 4 yrs old and there was a little button on the tank i used to touch and this plunger  popped up which i pushed back down again of course. a little while later he would come out and start it with a gentle push from his size 12 boot then a big plume of blue smoke would envelope the scenery! he would yell which one of you kids has been mucking about with the oil boost pump? i'd stand there with a guilty look thinking how did he know anything was touched!.....the first bike i rode was an M20 army beeza which i still believe to be the easiest bike to learn on ever built. i was 14. my mum said "if either of you boys get a motor bike i'll cut it up with an axe" 1st bike i fell off was a  mates  c11 bsa in the back yard resulting in 1 stitch right hand. i came out of the nashos in '57 disposed of the old axe and bought a 52 ajs 18S with my deferred pay...i said to myself it will probably be about 2 weeks before i fall of this thing. the middle of the next week i went round a corner with gravel on the tar road and to my amazement found myself sliding down the road with two hands still hanging on to the bars but i was looking straight into the headlight with both me and  the bike loosing paint and skin!...... since then there has been quite a lot of machines most of which i fell off at some stage on the road or on the track. i have learnt not to even think about road racing as it would not suit my erratic style! and so at this stage of my life i will rarely ride on the road.   71 and still into turning the twist grip to the stop. cheers wally.

RV 90, Dad had to get me started because I could not reach the ground. When I was off and going dad would step off the back and leave me to cut laps around the yard. When I had had enough, just a beep on the horn and my side stand would appear!

[frostype400]

youd have been in trouble if the horn went i was on a minitrail with st70 motor quite fast really and it had a throttle that stuck that nearly caused a few accidents

First bike was a BSA bantam 175 set up for dirt track this was in 1967(I was 14, $30).First thing to do when I got it home was to cut that funny expansion chamber exhaust thing back to its first cone and create a megaphone exhaust,man did that thing make some noise,so it must have gone heaps better.yeah right.
